A Lego-style Islamic terrorist figurine has sparked outrage among Muslims and others.
The Islamic terrorist figurine called 'Mr. White' that has sparked controversy
The controversial toy mini-figure, made by American Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms line, is a masked militant with an assault rifle, grenade launcher and belt of explosives. The character is called "Bandit Mr. White" and sells for $14.
Shocked by the plaything, British Muslim organization the Ramadhan Foundation has branded the figurine "absolutely disgusting."
Chief executive Mohammed Shafiq said the toy is "glorifying terrorism."
"I don't think there's any difference between someone that shouts hatred through a megaphone and someone that creates a doll that glorifies terrorists," he said. "As a parent myself, I'm going to teach my children respect for the law and respect for each and every community.
"These are the lessons parents should be giving to their children not lessons about weapons and violence."

Europe continues to be uncomfortable with the idea of “free speech.”
I think it is hilarious - I want to get one and then take pics of it in the toilet, the cat litter box, the fireplace, etc.

Predictable. Muslims are shocked & absolutely disgusted by a Lego toy, but silent when real, live innocents are slaughtered by muslims radicals.

Chief executive Mohammed Shafiq said the toy is "glorifying terrorism." It does not champion terrorism. It puts a face on it.

The only thing that fails to outrage Muslims is their cult of hatred, death and revenge.

They are “outraged”, but the toy does not have the word muslim, islam, or jihadi or any other word that would identify the figure as being from any one ethnic or religious group. If “They” are outraged, then “They” must be claiming that it represents “THEM”..................

I bet it would have been ok if it were named Omar.

They are angry because their religion is against the making of idols and they regard their suicide murderers as glorious DIVINE martyrs. They actually believe that suicide bombers and other assorted Muslim raiders are spiritually perfect.
